Johnny B. Goode


"Johnny B. Goode" is a rock and roll classic written and recorded by Chuck Berry in 1958. Released as a single that same year, it reached number two on the Hot R&B Sides chart and has since become one of the most recognized songs in rock history. For electric guitar players, it is essential study material, featuring Berry's influential double-stop licks, signature intro riff, and blues-rooted rhythm patterns that shaped the foundation of modern rock guitar.

  • The opening guitar riff is one of the most imitated in rock history and a benchmark for beginner and intermediate electric guitarists.
  • Chuck Berry wrote and sang the song himself in 1958, demonstrating his role as both composer and performer.
  • Running just under two minutes and forty-two seconds, the song packs its iconic guitar work into a tight, efficient structure.
